MY THOUGHTS:

I think this DVD is great for all preschool aged children, but especially families with kids with different personalities.  Now both my sons love Thomas the Train, but if given the choice my youngest would choose Barney.  With the DVD both kids get what they want without constantly changing DVDs.  This is another great DVD to get young kids excited about the holidays and what’s going to happen.  Each character stars in a Christmas themed episode, whether they are delivery a tree, building a sleigh, putting up Christmas lights or just playing in the snow!  There is lots of songs sung, bright animation and fun Christmas spirit shared.  Very appropriate with themes to help young kids share, work together, and more!
